@FargusPelagius with coronovirus I donāt know when Bayonetta 3 is going to be released but if itās October Iāll be stoked!
@Rodan2000 whenever Bayonetta 3 is released I reckon itās going to be a cracker of a game because itās probably the final instalment in the series.
Iāll split my time between two games this weekend. First Resident Evil 4. Love the game but the lack of gyro really annoys me and stops it from being a great play.
Iām also back on Breath of the Wild. Loving that game and I reckon Iām around halfway through.
@mazzel Iām tempted to order Xenoblade especially as theyāre extra features. But I will hold off, partly as I havenāt played XC2 yet.
@RPGamer Iād love to replay Xenoblade. Maybe at the end of the Switchās lifespan I might buy the game to experience it again. But for now I will resist!
@mazzel definitely the Wii and 3ds install base was huge. But the 3D version was only available on the āNewā 3DS and the Wii version was really hard to get a hold of. So XC1 was not as well exposed as it shouldāve been.
Trhis is one remake that I hope gets a lot of love. Xenoblade is such an ace game.
While I wonāt double dip (sunk 200 hours into the 3D version) Iām so glad this is being released for the Switch.
This opens up XC1 to a much bigger audience. For me personally I can safely say that Xenoblade was one of my finest gaming experiences and this release means that a lot more other players can enjoy the game like I did.
@mcdreamer never got a Wii U, so I missed out on XCX (Iām pretty much a handheld only gamer due to work commitments).
However, having recently got a Switch (Lite), XC2 will be my game for the Autumn. I canāt wait for that and the Torna expansion pack is probably the first DLC that I will buy with the main game.
I would love to see the rest of the Xeno series remastered/released just to see the evolution of the series. One thing that is probably guaranteed either in this generation or the next - Xenoblade 3!
@mcdreamer I sunk over 200 hours into Xenoblade 3D - and I consider it one of the greatest gaming experiences ever.
As for me I am getting stuck into Breath of the Wild. I completed my first Divine Beast. I died a dozen times trying to beat that boss as I was so underprepared!
@PuppyToucher Iāve got a Switch lite so I only play handheld.
Iām also a newbie to assassins creed and rebel collection is my first game.
It takes a while to get used to the controls. Itās not intuitive like Mario odyssey but after a few hours you get the hang of it. Itās blood thirsty as hell and the pirate ship sections are great fun especially if you overpower your own ship when outfitting it during the game.
I got Pikuniku for me and cities skylines for my nephew because both were on sale.
Loved Pikuniku. For 4Zl (around ā¬1) it was a blast!
I dipped into Cities Skylines. Good memories of playing Sim City 2000 but the game got bogged down by garbage collection problems and getting dead bodies to the cemetery. Weird.
Okami HD. Iām on the final land and I reckon i can complete the game in the next few days. An absolutely great purchase this really is a classic game.
Also dipping into Pikuniku which I bought last week. Hilarious game.
This weekend Iāll be heading back to Okami HD after spending the week on Assassins Creed Black Flag I just love both of those games and alternate between the two.
I also picked up Piku Niku on sale - it cost me something like 80p. Bizarre little game but I love it!
Iāve downloaded the demo but havenāt had the chance to play it yet. Definitely looking out for this one. If the reviews are good Iāll pick it up for Christmas.
@1UP_MARIO agreed for true discounts go physical. I bought a fair few games in 2019 for cheap before I got my Switch.
Even though my Switch is now my main system, today I cracked open the 3ds and played a little Mario & Luigi Paper Jam Bros - the last game on my 3DS backlog.
@OuTee @Gamecuber
I was not in Poland during the Wii/DS era and I do believe that Nintendo could do a lot more. However, my wife did not know Nintendo when I met her. Now my kids point at the TV when there is a Nintendo ad so at least things are on the up. More importantly you can actually buy Nintendo in the shops - I could not do that pre-Switch!
@SmaggTheSmug I met my (Polish) wife ten years ago. When I first went to Poland back then, Nintendo was non-existent.
Now, Nintendo is aggressively marketing itself in Poland. TV ads, posters and yes, I bought my Switch in Poland.
Poland is currently Xbox country and that is going to take a lot to change. But Iāll give credit where itās due, Nintendo has been aggressively pushing itself in Poland since the Switch launched.
I sunk 200 hours into this game on the 3DS. Xenoblade is a fantastic game and for those whoāve never experienced it before, get ready for one hell of a ride!
Witcher 3 is on my āto play listā - I still cannot believe it is on a Nintendo system. Itās games like this that is fast making the Switch my possible all time favourite platform.
For me games can also have a sentimental value. So I loved Secret of Mana because I played it in my teens. Playing it now on the SNES Mini still holds me in thralls even though I can see itās many faults in todayās gaming era.
Last generation, I have a soft spot for Fire Emblem Awakening as I was going through a lot of personal problems at the time of playing it and I felt my struggles mirrored what was going on in game.
So as a result I rarely get rid of old games, but if a new console has backwards compatibility then I do sell off the original console to free up shelf space.
@ChromaticDracula agreed. The ending of Dream Team was a bit padded, but considering I picked it up for Ā£10, I got my moneyās worth and I still think itās very underrated.
@ChromaticDracula Iāve also got Paper Jam on my 3DS backlog (along with Monster Hunter 4 and Hey Pikmin) and I usually spend one day a week focused on my 3DS to clear the backlog.
I personally had a blast with Dream Team - criminally underrated.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 2nd)
@Pat84 Iāve just started Resident Evil 4 on the Switch. Good game but the lack of gyro annoys me.
Iām taking a break from BOTW (after two weeks straight) so I went back to Assassins Creed Black Flag. Itās addictive as hell.

Re: Review: Trials of Mana - Old And New Combine To Create A Fine RPG Adventure
This is on my watch list. I will get it at the end of the year. I want to complete BOTW and Witcher first.
Re: Fans And Analysts Ponder The Eternal Question: Can Nintendo Survive Without Shigeru Miyamoto?
@VoodooTrumpet - agreed. Disney is a behemoth and it is clear Nintendo has already un passed the reins of their franchises to a newer generation.
Nintendo is ultimately a company. When it boils down to it, cash is king and it will do what is necessary to survive and thrive.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 18th)
Breath of the Wild. Just started it this week. Iām a bit late to the Zelda party but Iām having one hell of a time!
Re: Site News: If You've Got A Moment, Could You Complete Our Reader Survey?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 11th)
Last weekend I finished Okami HD which was fantastic. This weekend I am going to knuckle down on the story of Assassins Creed Black Flag.
Iāve got caught up in all the side quests for that game, which are addictive!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 21st)
Assassins Creed Black Flag from the Rebel Collection. Iām absolutely hooked on this game and is a break from the equally addictive Okami HD.
Will also dip into Mario Odyssey as Iām on the final world and would like to beat it this weekend.
Re: Switch Timed Exclusive Baldo Is Giving Us Serious Studio Ghibli Feels
This is one game I am looking Going out for. Loved Ni No Kuni so would be up for this one.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 14th)
@IceClimbers I started Black Flag this week and I am loving the game. Itās my first Assassinās Creed game but I am hooked!
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Appears On The European Switch eShop
@Silly_G try getting into Xenoblade. I sunk in a lot of time into the 3DS version but it was time well spent. The story is amazing.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 7th)
Over the past three weekends Iāve completed three games. Luigiās Mansion 3, Ni No Kuni and Bayonetta 2.
So this weekend itās a ānewā game - Okami HD. I picked this up in the sale a few weeks ago and Iām loving every minute of this gorgeous game.

Bayonetta 2. Just started it and Iām having a blast. I finished Bayonetta 1 at the beginning of the year, so the story is still fresh for me.
Hereās hoping for Bayonetta 3 news in the āupcomingā Nintendo Direct. š

I finished Luigiās Mansion 3 last weekend so this weekend I want to finish Ni No Kuni. Iām on the final stretch so I think thatās doable.
Also getting into Mario Odyssey. I only got a Switch in December so I am in catch up mode. Loving that game too.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 15th)
@Crozzymodo thanks for that. At its current price point I think itās worth getting. It would be my first assassinās creed game too.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 15th)
@mr_grimm is black flag good? Iāve got my eye on that one.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 8th)
Ni no Kuni as my main game as all week Iāve been blasting through Luigiās Mansion 3.
Also I picked up Goetia on the e-shop last week when it was for sale so I will also start that.
Re: Get Discounts On Fire Emblem, Captain Toad And More With My Nintendo Rewards (Europe)
@Late Ever Oasis is a great game but see if the cartridge is available on clearance.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 1st)
A weekend of completion for me. On the Switch I should finish Blossom Tale. Over on my 3DS I am on the final boss of Hey Pikmin.
Once I finish both games, I will get back into Ni No Kuni on Switch which I got back into this week
Re: Nintendo's Digital Sales Have Increased Almost 50 Percent Year-On-Year
@Kalmaro same with me. I got Mario + Rabbids over Xmas as it was so cheap. Otherwise I will always buy retail games as physical copies when available.
Re: Talking Point: How Much Is Your Video Game Collection Really Worth To You?

Re: Comparing The Witcher Games To The Books Is Like Comparing "Spaghetti Carbonara With A Bicycle", Says Creator
Being married to a Polish girl I can safely say that Sapkowskiās bluntness is a national trait š
Conversely if you see Sapkowski on the Netflix interviews he seems a bit more diplomatic than he comes across in this interview.
We do have to remember that he is not a native English speaker so a lot may be lost when he tries to communicate in English.
Iāve read the books - courtesy of my wife - and that actually has me excited for Witcher 3 (which Iāll buy at the end of the year).
Re: Guide: Best Cheap Nintendo Switch Games - Switch eShop Deals (Europe)
@dugan for the price - around a tenner - I think itās worthwhile.
Iāve played Okamiden and despite the DS visuals I really enjoyed it so Iām really looking forward to Okami.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 25th)
Iām taking a break from Ni No Kuni this weekend so itās Bulb Boy, Mario Rabbids and Blossom Tale.
Will also pick up my 3DS and plus on with Hey Pikmin.
Re: Guide: Best Cheap Nintendo Switch Games - Switch eShop Deals (Europe)
Downloaded Okami as I missed the chance to play this on the Wii. I played and loved Okamiden on the DS so Iām looking forward to playing it.
